Thanks for the laugh! I originally started learning some basic signs because my stepson is severely autistic and he was taught signs ( what great parents to do this!) but I was confused what he was asking me,so I started googling sign language and found he was asking where his dad was (he was at work) and was asking for candy.
Then I got to thinking, eventually I will lose more of my hearing to age, being half deaf now I don't want it to leave me with minimal communications options. I decided to start at least learning the basics.

For now, I can tell you where to get candy...lol. Otherwise I am ASL illiterate, but learning.
